Is Python interpreter inherently slow or is it just the way we code?

I've found Python programs to be much slower relative to other programming languages and this difference has been steadily increasing over time. To cite a very recent example, I've been working on this very simple programming problem on Kattis and to my surprise, the Python version took 0.06 seconds to run the exact same algorithm which PHP took 0.01 seconds - which means PHP was about six times faster than Python!

I'm sure this order of magnitude may not be reflective of real world situations but you can't deny that Python has become observably slower while the competition has caught up in recent years.

if len(vals) !=2: break

Django Template not working as expected

Hello everyone.

I have the following objects

```
class ManyToManyObjects(models.Model):
id
ObjectA = models.ForeignKey('A')
ObjectB= models.ForeignKey('A') #Different Objects, but for sake of argument lets say they are the same.
Objectmatch = models.CharField}
ObjectScore = models.IntegerField()

Class A(models.Models):
id
data
```
(Redacted some of it for simplicity, but these are the main fields for this interaction.)

And I have the following in my Django Template:
```
{% assign prevmatch '' %}
{% assign lastA ''%}
{% assign lastB ''%}
{% for match in ManyToManyObjects %}
{% if prevcod != match.Objectmatch %}
... //just some sort of header for the table
